Comment from SomeoneElse
The explanation behind the country names used here can be found at the answer that I gave to the help question https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/53812/contested-border-sahrawi-morocco-decision-to-display .
Essentially OSM has its own rules for "what constitutes a country" (and in fact the United Nations has no single "list of countries" - there are many borderline cases). As that help answer explains, OSM's Data Working Group consulted with all sides of the dispute and with mappers who maintain borders elsewhere.
If you think that there's something wrong with the way that things are mapped please do discuss it with the community (https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=61207 would be a good place) or mail the Data Working Group at data@osmfoundation.org. Please don't just create a new OSM account and make just those changes, with no attempt at discussion.
